9:04 am
somebody who's been here. the day before the super bowl, all this buildup, what's going through the players' minds right now? >> something that started off when they were kids in the sand lot, used to imagine playing in the super bowl, they used to -- you draw your number of your favorite player on your jersey. you have imagined about it, dreamed about it all of your life. and tomorrow, it's about to come true. right now they are in their rooms thinking that, man, my imagination is becoming a reality! it's going to be hard for them to sleep. they will drink a lot of chamomile tea because they are playing in the super bowl! >> reporter: one of the things that is so special about this super bowl is brothers are coaching against each other. think about the odds to coach in the nfl in the first place, then the super bowl, and then that they are brothers. the saying goes you are hired to one day be fired. joint press conference yesterday, the two brothers were asked if you're ever fired, would you work potentially on the other guy's

9:06 am
talk about how his sons would compete. he would say that he would be downstairs in his basement and when he wanted a beverage or something from the upstairs, he would tell one of his sons, hey, go up and get me a drink. and the son would race back and he would time him. then he would come and tell, jim, he did it in 9.5 seconds. can you beat it? he would run up there and do it even quicker. so this family has had a history of competing since the time that they were little. you may think this is a super bowl, but these brothers want to beat each other! >> reporter: they certainly do. the beautiful thing, is we get to see how it's all going to turn out a very short time from now, stop talking about it and see it actually happen. be sure and join us later on this evening for a special show. we'll hear from bubba around town. i'll be here with you, with mark ybanez. until then, reporting live from new orleans, joe fonzi, ktvu channel 2news. >> thank you very much, joe and bubba. this weekend, the big easy is one big party.
